      It is the government's not non violent drug users for this happening. At best you get caught for doing drugs or having them on you but that enables the system to torture you over it with their jails and prisons (meaning doing drugs not hurting other people) gets you thrown into prison).
      The people who think soilitary is a good idea need to not only be put in soilitary but then executed afterwards (i am talking to those with power not just some fuckhead on the street for it).

    First of all...That ain't solitary as in most prisons. Second when you know you're getting out no matter what in 48 hrs, there is VERY LITTLE mental pressure.
    When you are in Solitary in MANY prisons, there are no windows on the door other than small one that the guards keep covered and lift only to glance in on you.
    People get locked up in solitary for years sometimes and it will make you insane.

    This reminded me a little of when I was at a psych ward. But it definitely was a lot nicer then there. We had nurses and each other to talk to. But the boredom you feel gets overwhelming in such a way that you just feel trapped. I was lucky I had my parents bring me books to read. Usually I also took a nap in the afternoon cause there was nothing to do. Plus I am not a social butterfly. I felt awkward around a lot of people. But I did see the rooms where they keep the worst ones with mental problems. They looked like small rooms with strong doors. The atmosphere they had just felt so suffocating. So hopeless. I felt so scared. And I was told that place was one of the good ones by other people who where there. So I can only imagine what a bad one would be like. Let alone solitary confinement.

I had 3 pairs of under wear, 3 pairs of socks, 3pairs of shirts and 3 pairs of pants...for each week i was in there. And the food is all soy, so you shit like a tornado every day like 10 times. Also, the lights never go completely out. There's always a dull light on like when you're in a dark lit hallway. Anyways, I'm innocent. It was weed. Wtf.

It was hard but when I got out & back on the block I didn't complain about it or really even talk about it because I was in a high risk block with many inmates who had done a significant amount of time in prison. I have to say though, that little bit of time made me realize that I would rather be dead then spend my life sitting in solitary.

    The great apostle Paul was in dark, dank solitary confinement for days on end as a result of a selfless life in the gospel. He shared, he cared, and preached, but was rewarded a most-dreaded prison life in exchange for his reaching out to people; fulfilling his divine calling. Yet he never lost his mind. In fact, under formidable conditions, he penned some of the most beautiful scripture (Philippians, Colossians, 1& 2 Timothy etc.) as he unselfishly thought of others. Maybe prisoners could benefit from Paul's example.

They deserve to go crazy and I hope they do because chances are they are in prison for doing violent acts and ruined plenty of peoples' lives. Therefore if they snap and lose what's left of their sick mind..then oh well too bad. Maybe they should have thought of living a law abiding and respectable life rather than a life of crime and they would not be in the situation that they are now in. It's easier to do the right things in life as opposed to the wrong things and rather than them putting in so much effort into thinking up ways to break the law, they should have put the same effort into being a good human being.

      +TheInternetBully94 they deserve to rot already getting somewhere to live and three full meals a day for killing someone lets not add entertainment to their worthless lives while we're at it. Homeless people don't even get the luxury of 2 meals a day so a murderer should have more privellage to homeless people I see.

    Who taught them to attack on prison officers and Guards ? These inmates definitely deserve such things

    How is putting people in solitary confinement keeping them safe? Its destroying people.

      Nathan Anderson It is also used to keep others safe, with inmates who assault people while in prison ending up there. The prison staff are damned if they do and damned If they don’t - they get criticized when inmates hurt each other, criticized when they keep them apart when all else fails to stop them hurting each other.

    That looks a lot better then the conditions I got, I was in my boxers the whole time. Big room and metal toilet in the middle. No blank or anything. Cold ass floors, no windows, and one light.

    I was locked in a cell like that for 18.5 hours. I’ll never ever ever go back to that place. A piece of me died.
